1. Ball, Hung, Drawn and Quartered for Truth
Did ye sing, John Ball,
as they pulled you apart?
A poet speaking for us all
from England’s tattered heart.
What a price, John Ball,
for singing to us all.
When hope came as a crime
in simple rhythm and rhyme.

2. He who sings a blackbird’s song
to a starved & battered throng
with a message to stand strong
would never last long.
So we’ll sing to John Ball
for the helpless & hopeless,
the voiceless, forgotten,
buried beneath the mansions
of Lords; misbegotten
mortar, stones & chandeliers
to a starved & battered throng
with a message to stand strong
would never last long.

3. the scarlet grave goods
of England’s preening peers.
We’ll sing in simple rhymes
and hope for better times,
when those barons’ grandchildren,
so viscous, reptilian,
are thrown from their seat
in ignominious defeat.

Sen. John Cornyn is a key vote in the Todd Blanche and is pressing Todd Blanche on the Trump settlement. Many of us have raised concerns over aspects of that settlement, but Blanche confirmed that the weaponization fund under the agreement has not and will not be used...
...Cornyn, however, is noting that the President has not expressly waived that fund provision. However, Blanche has said that there is no chance, even with litigation, that there can be a "revival of the fund" which was never actually funded or used...
...Blanche has emphasized that this was the first case where a president's taxes were illegally released, an act that was criminally prosecuted. He defended the immunity provision in the settlement as standard for such settlements when pressed by Sen. Durbin...
1/ THREAD ON RO KHANNA'S ANTISEMITIC BUDDIES
If there's someone spreading anti-jewish hate in America: Khanna is likely to call them a close personal friend or be appearing alongside them in anti jewish videos.
From nazi Ian Carroll to Tucker, Shawn Ryan, Thomas Massie to MTG.

2/ Ro Khanna is a buddy to and regular text pals with the antisemite nazi promoter Tucker Carlson (promoter of holocuast denier Darryl Cooper and Hitler lover Nick Fuentes). Khanna proudly appears on Tuckers show. You can see Tucker texting Khanna in this clip. They text often:
3/Here's Ro Khanna nodding along to Shawn Ryan's false antisemitic conspiracy theories about Epstein and some kind of jewish plot against "goys" (Epstein only used the term jokingly in pro-non jewish way in 2 emails). You can see Khanna nod along and agree/whitewashing Ryan's BS

Are you ready for the sudden coming of the LORD?
Are you ready for the sudden coming of the LORD?
“For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the LORD so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” (1 Thessalonians 5:2-3)
Last night I had a dream. I was outside in the evening with someone. I don’t know who the person was. It began to be very stormy and suddenly to the east you could see very dark clouds. I soon realized a huge wedge tornado was headed our way.
Remember Richard Sharp? GL's convicted felon "head adjutant", who pretended to vanish in 2023 after his criminal record came out?
As it turns out, Sharp:
- is provably behind three of GL's notorious harassment accounts
- is the new director of an interestingly named 🇺🇦 LLC 👀
🧵!

I read this strange thread and am reminded of a story out of history that I am certain @USWPColby knows well: (my own thread starts here) 1/x
The ancient city of Athens led a confederation of fellow Greek-city states in an ultimately triumphant war against the Persian Empire. After the war, the allies agreed to share expenses to pay for a permanent navy. They stored the treasury on the Aegean island of Delos. 2/x
In the year 454 BCE, the Athenians - the leaders of the alliance - seized the treasury and removed it to their own city. Money raised from all the cities for collective defense was spent by the Athenians on their own city. 3/x

@TheAJNR 3/But dural vascular anatomy & supply are important, especially now that MMA embolizations are commonly for chronic recurrent subdurals.
It is also important for dural arteriovenous fistulas.

"Are you Jewish by religiion? Aside from religion, do you consider yourself to be Jewish in any way (for example, ethnically, culturally or because of your family's background)?"
Is this the wording you'd use to decide who is "Jewish" for purposes of political public opinion research? 1/

This is the question Pew used in its initial screening for Jews in a 2020 study of Jewish Americans.
Many polls of "Jews," including the one showing Mamdani with 42% favorability among Jewish Americans use it.
Ironically, even Pew doesn't, when it tabulated statistics it excluded people with a Jewish parent who no longer consider themselves Jewish in any way; people who identify as both Jewish and Christian; people who say they are Jewish only because of a spouse or some other connection, without a Jewish parent or upbringing. 2/

I think even that's a bit broad, when we are talking about public opinion as opposed to sociological research, but it's rather disingenuous for a poll to use the "Pew question" and then purport to be a poll of American Jews when even Pew does not do so. /end

Bridge Colby is a serious strategic mind; his earlier work on strategic stability and nuclear abolition is excellent, for example. He also has a coherent strategic vision for the US (the ‘pivot’ etc). His superiors appreciate neither - but he can’t change that.

His thread still contains serious intellectual tensions.
1. Retrenching total US support to rNATO - and ‘playing harder to get’ generally - would’ve been one thing. It would’ve incentivised rNATO to do more to support the US position. But that isn’t what the US has done.

Instead, the US turned actively predatory. Trying to coerce Denmark out of its territory. Quips about annexing Canada. Hammering allies with tariffs, even while demanding they spend big. Toying with backing Argentine designs on the Falklands. Insulting GWoT-era veterans. Etc etc.
